Firstly, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, a wireless switch is provided, where the wireless switch includes a power supply module 201, a communication processing module 202, at least one key 204, and at least one sensing module 203; the power supply module 201 is electrically connected to the communication processing module 202 to supply power to the communication processing module 202; the key 204 can trigger the corresponding sensing module 203 in response to external control; the sensing module 203 is electrically connected to the communication processing module 202, so as to transmit a trigger signal to the communication processing module 202 when triggered;

The communication processing module 202 is configured to:

Responding to the wake-up instruction to enter a second working state;

Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the message transmission time in the second working state may refer to a transmission time of a single message in the second working state, and the duration of the first working state may refer to a duration of the first working state before the single message is transmitted. In other embodiments of the present application, the message transmission time in the second working state may also be a single message transmission time in the second working state (for example, a single continuous transmission of a plurality of messages in the second working state, a plurality of messages continuously transmitted may be used to represent a single control event or may represent a plurality of control events), and the duration of the first working state may refer to the duration of the first working state before the single message is transmitted. In addition, the duration of the first working state may also be an average time, a median of time, etc. of the wireless switch in the first working state in a specified time period (such as a day, 8 hours, etc.), and in summary, the duration of the first working state may represent a sleep time interval of the wireless switch during normal use.

The inventor discovers that the power consumption of the existing wireless switch is higher in the use process, and researches of the inventor discovers that the communication processing module of the wireless switch has a specified state, and the power consumption of the wireless switch can be effectively reduced by configuring the working state of the communication processing module based on the specified state. Specifically:

When the communication processing module receives a wake-up instruction in the first working state, the communication processing module can respond to the wake-up instruction to enter a second working state, and send a message to the outside in the second working state according to the wake-up instruction, and the wake-up instruction can be generated by a key in response to external control. In this embodiment, the power consumption of the communication processing module in the first working state is smaller than the power consumption of the communication processing module in the second working state, so that the communication processing module is in a relatively low-power consumption state in the first working state where the packet sending task is not executed, and is switched to the second working state to send packets only when the communication processing module is awakened.

Further, the inventor finds that the relatively low power consumption state of the communication processing module can also comprise a plurality of different sleep states, and configures the first working state of the communication processing module to have an association relationship between the different sleep states and the power consumption of the wireless switch. Illustratively, the sleep state may include the following: dormancy requiring a large number of initialization operations when awakened, dormancy requiring a simple small number of initialization operations when awakened, dormancy allowing direct packet delivery without initialization when awakened, and the like. In this embodiment, the first sleep state is a wake-up state, and the second sleep state is a wake-up state, and may be directly used for packet sending. Of course, it is within the protection scope of the present embodiment as long as it is satisfied that the power consumption of the communication processing module in the first sleep state is smaller than the power consumption in the second sleep state, and the power consumption when the communication processing module is switched from the first sleep state to the second working state is larger than the power consumption when the communication processing module is switched from the second sleep state to the second working state.

As shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, after the communication processing module in the first sleep state is awakened, an operation of power-on initialization retransmission signal is required. And the communication processing module in the second sleep state is awakened and only performs signal transmitting operation. Assuming that the power-up initialization consumes a amount of energy, the second sleep state consumes W ₁ and the first sleep state consumes W ₂, W ₁>W₂. The total power consumption P ₁＝W₁ t of the communication processing module in the second sleep state and the total power consumption P ₂＝W₂ t+a of the communication processing module in the first sleep state should be noted, where the total power consumption refers to the power consumption in the process of waking up from the first sleep state or the second sleep state and completing the message transmission, and since the power consumption consumed by the message transmission is a fixed value, the total power consumption is omitted when calculating the total power consumption. The communication processing module consumes energy by delta p=p ₁-P₂＝W₁t-(W₂t+A)＝(W₁-W₂) t-a in the second sleep state and the first sleep state, t=a/(W ₁-W₂) when delta p=0, and delta P >0 when t > a/(W ₁-W₂). In this embodiment, the communication processing module may be regarded as having a designated state in Δp=0 and subsequent states, and assuming that the message transmission time is B, when Δp >0, the ratio of the duration of the first working state to the message transmission time in the second working state is greater than a/(W ₁-W₂) B, and when a/(W ₁-W₂) b=n is set, the communication processing module may have a designated state when the ratio of the duration of the first working state to the message transmission time in the second working state is greater than or equal to N. After the selection and test of each circuit and module in the communication processing module by the inventor of the present application, the value range of N is preferably [4,6].

In this embodiment, when the communication processing module is in the first working state, the first sleep state can save a certain amount of energy relative to the second sleep state, and when the communication processing module is awakened, the first sleep state is powered on and initialized to consume a certain amount of energy relative to the second sleep state. If and only if the communication processing module has a specified state, namely the ratio of the duration time of the first working state to the message transmitting time in the second working state is greater than or equal to N, the energy saved by the first dormancy state in the first working state can offset the energy consumed by the power-on initialization of the first dormancy state, namely delta P is more than or equal to 0. Therefore, when the wireless switch has a designated state, the first operating state of the communication processing module can be configured as a first sleep state, and the energy saved by the first sleep state in the duration of the first operating state can completely offset the energy consumed by initialization when the first sleep state is awakened, so that the power consumption of the wireless switch can be reduced as a whole, and the power consumption of the wireless switch can be reduced more effectively with the increase of time. And when the wireless switch does not have the designated state (or N is smaller than 4), the first working state is configured to be the second dormant state (if the first working state is still set to be the first dormant state in this state, the energy saved in the first working state in the duration time cannot be offset by the energy saved in the first dormant state, which is consumed by the initialization when the first dormant state is awakened, so that the whole power consumption of the wireless switch cannot be reduced).

In some embodiments, the message transmission time in the second working state is set to be 100ms, the duration of the first working state is the sleep time of the wireless switch before the message is sent, then in a period of time, the wireless switch is awakened and enters the first working state after the message is sent, when the sleep time in the first working state lasts for 0.4s, if the wireless switch is awakened in response to the awakening instruction, the ratio n=0.4 s/100 ms=4 of the duration of the first working state to the message transmission time in the second working state. At this time, if the first operating state is configured as the first sleep state, the energy saved by the first sleep state in the duration (0.4 s) of the first operating state just can offset the energy consumed by the initialization when the first sleep state is awakened. In addition, if the wireless switch is awakened in response to the wake-up instruction after the first working state is dormant for 1 hour, the ratio n=1h/100 ms=36000 of the duration time of the first working state to the message transmitting time in the second working state. At this time, if the first operating state is configured as the first sleep state, the energy saved by the first sleep state in the duration (1 h) of the first operating state is much larger than the energy consumed by the initialization when the first sleep state is awakened.

It should be noted that, according to the influences of the working state, the transmitting parameters, different message types, different communication protocols, and the like of the wireless switch, in some embodiments, the message transmitting time in the second working state may be set to be 270ms, 290ms, 1s, or the like; correspondingly, the duration of the first working state, the designated state, and the configuration between the first sleep state and the second sleep state are correspondingly adjusted, so long as the first sleep state or the second sleep state of the wireless switch is configured according to the designated state, and the designated state is: the ratio of the duration of the first working state to the message transmitting time in the second working state is greater than or equal to N, and the value of N is [4,6], so that the message transmitting time falls into the protection scope of the application.

In some embodiments of the present application, the communication processing module may further include a random access memory (RandomAccess Memory, RAM), and the inventor finds that the existing wireless switch is always in a working mode or a light sleep mode (a second sleep state) during use, that is, each part of the wireless switch is in a real-time power-on state, which results in higher power consumption, for example, when a button battery is used to power the wireless switch, the higher power consumption results in frequent battery replacement for a user, which not only results in resource waste, but also reduces user experience. It has further been found that when other power consumption in the wireless switch is fixed, the power consumption of the wireless switch is greatly affected by the random access memory in the communication processing module. The wireless switch is in a light sleep mode (second sleep state), and the RAM in the communication processing module only retains a part of data, but the RAM is still in a powered-on state, and the RAM consumes high power when powered on based on the characteristics of the RAM itself, and the RAM-based memory consumes power even when no memory read or write occurs because it constantly recharges the internal capacitor.

If the first working state is configured to be a first dormant state, the random access memory is powered off when the communication processing module is in the first working state; and if the first working state is configured to be the second dormant state, the communication processing module reserves at least part of data in the random access memory when in the first working state.

Taking a communication processing module as an example of a chip, assume that a second working state of the chip is a working mode, the chip is in a recovery mode in a second sleep state, in order to reduce power consumption in the recovery mode, part of data in the RAM is reserved, and the first sleep state is in an SOC OFF mode in which the RAM is powered OFF and has the lowest power consumption. For example, the chip a, the first operation state is a sleep state, including a first sleep state and a second sleep state, the second operation state (operation mode) is Active TX, the power consumption is 4mA, the first sleep state (first low power consumption mode) is an SOC OFF mode, and the RAM is powered down in this mode, and the power consumption is 300nA. The second sleep state (second low power mode) is a recall mode, which is also to reduce power consumption, but will retain at least part of the data in RAM, with a power consumption of 2 ua. It can be seen that the power consumption in the sleep state is much smaller than that in the operation mode, while the power consumption in the SOC OFF mode is the lowest, which is smaller than that in the attention mode.

If the first working state is configured as a first dormant state, the random access memory is powered off when the communication processing module is in the first working state, and if the communication processing module is awakened, the awakening reason is firstly acquired immediately so as to prevent the fact that the key is quickly pressed and cannot be identified when the key is awakened. In the embodiment of the application, the type of the communication processing module awakening comprises key awakening, timed awakening, OTA awakening, software reset and the like.

The wake-up instruction corresponding to key wake-up is a trigger signal, the wake-up instruction corresponding to timing wake-up is a timing signal, the wake-up instruction corresponding to OTA wake-up is an OTA signal, and the wake-up instruction corresponding to software reset is a software reset signal. After the communication processing module wakes up, initializing the resources: hardware resource initialization, such as initialization of an IO port, a control device, an intelligent platform (such as a millet SDK), flash memory reading and writing and the like.

And when the judgment is that the key is awakened, the wireless switch enters a key processing flow, and the related key awakening event is sent out through an event sending flow. In the embodiment of the present application, after the communication processing module enters the second working state in response to the wake-up instruction, the communication processing module is further configured to: and judging the wake-up instruction as a timing signal, acquiring the electric quantity information of the power supply module, and sending a state message outwards, wherein the state message characterizes the electric quantity information. When the key wake-up (wake-up instruction is a trigger signal) is judged, the power (such as battery voltage parameter) of the wireless switch is collected, and the collected power information is sent to the outside through a state message. The wake-up is timed, and the power data can be sent and keep alive at regular time, for example, the power detection timer is started for 50 minutes: one function is to send power data to the APP every 50 minutes, and the other function is to have a keep-alive operation with the gateway to tell the gateway that the wireless switch is still on-line.

For key wakeup, since key press must be done before key press is waken, the sub-process of key press is given before "recognition of press" is judged, and since the communication processing module wakes up and the key may be pressed, i.e. released, then the release of the key may not be detected, a sub-process of key release (i.e. detection of key release state) is added after "recognition of press" to compensate for the vulnerability of key detection logic (to prevent too fast press, remedial action).

Specifically, if the communication processing module determines that the wake-up instruction is a trigger signal, when generating and sending the control message outwards according to the trigger signal, the communication processing module is further configured to: determining the current state of the key, if the key is in a release state, judging the control action type of the key in the appointed time, and sending out a corresponding control message.

In some embodiments of the present application, the communication processing module is further configured to determine whether the wake-up instruction is a trigger signal before determining whether the wake-up instruction is a timing signal. That is, it is preferentially determined whether the communication processing module is awakened by a key (whether the awakening instruction is a trigger signal), and then it is determined whether the communication processing module is awakened at a timing (whether the awakening instruction is a timing signal). Because a timed wake-up is only turned on, it must be included in the wake-up reasons. Taking the communication processing module as a chip as an example, in order to reduce the power consumption, some chips may directly relate to the flag position 1 after the timer is timed, instead of waiting for the timer to finish and then setting 1 (an additional logic circuit is needed to realize, so that additional power consumption may be brought) so as to avoid the increase of the power consumption, and in order to prevent the key from being quickly pressed and not being recognized when the key is awakened, whether the key is awakened is preferentially judged.

When the communication processing module is awakened, whether the key is awakened is firstly judged, if yes, the current state of the key is timely determined, and the control action of the key is captured as soon as possible when the communication processing module is awakened. When the current state of the key is detected to be a pressing state, the operation and control actions of the key are captured after the wake-up is described, and the single click, the long press, the double click and the long press of the key or the operation and control action types of the key of any two combinations of the single click, the double click and the long press can be identified, and corresponding control messages are sent out.

In the embodiment of the application, when the communication processing module wakes up, the key processing flow is entered, and the key processing flow can be divided into a key pressing sub-flow and a key releasing sub-flow, wherein the key pressing sub-flow can be an action of identifying a falling edge, namely an action of identifying that the key pressing is an action of identifying a low level of an IO port of the communication processing module, and the key releasing sub-flow is an action of identifying a rising edge, namely an action of identifying that the key releasing is an action of identifying a high level of the IO port of the communication processing module, which is a complete key pressing and lifting flow. It will be appreciated that the reverse may be true from the technical implementation point of view in the embodiments of the present application, i.e. the key press sub-flow may be a recognition rising edge and the key release sub-flow is a recognition falling edge, which is not limited herein. In the embodiment of the application, the awakening operation of the communication processing module can be performed by a hardware circuit, and the judging of the IO port level of the communication processing module is performed by a software algorithm.

When the key is pressed, the sensing module inputs a first level to an IO port of the communication processing module; when the key is released, the sensing module inputs a second level to an IO port of the communication processing module; the first level and the second level are different;

In some embodiments of the present application, the communication processing module is specifically configured to: if the wake-up instruction is the trigger signal (namely, key wake-up type), detecting whether the current input level of the IO port of the communication processing module is a first level or not; if the current level of the IO port of the communication processing module is a first level, determining that the key is in a pressed state, and acquiring a first pressing duration of the key; and determining the control action type of the key according to the first pressing duration.

Further, the communication processing module is specifically further configured to: judging whether the first pressing time length of the key exceeds a first preset time length, if the first pressing time length does not exceed the first preset time length, detecting whether the current level of an IO port of the communication processing module is a second level; if the current level of the IO port of the communication processing module is the second level, detecting first key operation information of the key in a third preset period; and determining the control action type of the key according to the first key operation information.

The key event corresponding to various operation types may be predefined in the embodiment of the present application, for example, if the controlled device corresponding to the wireless switch is a lamp, the single click may be defined as a lighting event.

Further, the communication processing module is specifically further configured to: if the first key operation information indicates that the key is not pressed in a third preset period, determining that the control action type is a single click operation; if the first key operation information indicates that the key is pressed in a third preset period, determining that the control action type is double-click operation; if the first key operation information indicates that the key is pressed in a third preset period, detecting second key operation information of the key in a fourth preset period, and determining the control action type of the key according to the third key operation information, wherein the fourth preset period is after the third preset period.

Further, the communication processing module is specifically further configured to: if the second key operation information indicates that the key is pressed again in a fourth preset period, acquiring a second pressing duration of the key in the fourth preset period; if the second pressing duration is a second preset duration, determining that the control action type is double-click long-pressing operation; and if the second pressing duration is a third preset duration, determining that the operation-by-operation action type is OTA operation.

It should be noted that the first preset duration, the second preset duration, the third preset duration, the fourth preset period, the fifth preset period, and the like described above may be preset according to an actual application scenario, and are not limited herein.

When the current state of the key is detected to be a release state, the fact that the operation action of the key is not captured is indicated, if the key is already released after being awakened, namely, if the current state of the key is detected to be the release state, the key is pressed down before the current state is detected, namely, the communication processing module is awakened, the key is possibly pressed down, so that the detected state is the release state, the action of pressing down the key once can be recorded at the moment, the operation action type of the key in the follow-up appointed time is continuously detected and judged, and the corresponding control message is sent out. For example, when the current state of the key is detected to be a release state, detecting whether there is one click operation of the key in a specified time, if so, determining that the operation type of the key is double click (one click which is not captured by calculation); if the key is not operated within the specified time, the type of manipulation action of the key may be determined to be a click (a click that is not captured), or the like.

The specified time may be a time preset according to an actual application scenario, for example, 300ms, and is not limited thereto.

In the prior art, the general key identification is simple, and is not so complicated, and the standby power consumption of the wireless switch in the embodiment of the application is very low, so that the communication processing module (such as the SOC) of the wireless switch is generally in the first sleep state of the communication processing module, and the communication processing module needs a certain time to wake up, so that the problem that the key cannot be detected when the key is sprung up after the communication processing module wakes up exists, and therefore, compared with the key detection flow of the switch in which the general SOC is always in the wake-up mode, the key detection flow of the embodiment of the application is more complicated.

In some embodiments of the present application, the communication processing module generates and sends out a control packet according to the trigger signal, and may include at least one of the following ways:

(1) The communication processing module generates and sends out a control message according to the trigger signal, and the control message comprises: judging the control action type of the key in the appointed time, and sending a second control message and/or a third control message outwards according to the control action type; the second control message is generated by the key in response to a second control action type in the control action types, and the third control message is generated by the key in response to a third control action type in the control action types; at least one of the following of the second and third manipulation action types is distinguished: the number of pressing times, the number of releasing times and the pressing time.

The second control message may be a message related to a device of the same manufacturer and the same communication development protocol as the wireless switch, that is, the second control message may be regarded as a manufacturer custom message, and the manufacturer custom message may be used to directly communicate between products of the same manufacturer or authorized products thereof without networking. The third control message may be a networking message that needs to be sent to the cloud through the gateway, for example, a message sent to the cloud such as millet, hua-to-doodle, etc., so the third control message needs to be sent to the gateway or the server when the wireless switch is networked.

For example, the type of the control action corresponding to the vendor custom message may be preset to be different from the type of the control action corresponding to the networking message, so that whether the vendor custom message or the networking message should be sent may be determined according to the type of the different control actions received by the key. For example, the operation action corresponding to the networking message is a complete action, wherein the complete action refers to an action with at least one pressing and at least one releasing, and the times of pressing and releasing are the same. Further, the corresponding generated control message may include: and responding to the complete action of the control operation to generate a complete action control message. The complete action control message may be the third control message, or may not be limited thereto.

The control action corresponding to the vendor custom message is a push-down operation, which is a push-down post-push control message generated in response to the push-down in the push-down operation; the message is generated and sent in response to the pressing, and can not be the complete actions of pressing and releasing; the push-down post-control message may be regarded as the second control message, and the push-down post-control message is used to make: and the intelligent controller matched with the wireless switch responds to the pressed control message and executes a corresponding control result.

The complete action control message is usually sent to the gateway, and the gateway may send corresponding control information (e.g. send the control information to the intelligent controller) based on the complete action control message, or may forward the complete action control message to the terminal, the server, the speaker device or other devices. The push-down control message is typically sent directly to the intelligent controller.

Based on this, it is possible to realize: under the condition that no gateway or terminal exists, the wireless switch and the intelligent controller can also perform basic pairing and control function actions. And under the condition of the gateway, the control message is applied by utilizing the complete action, and rich control data can be sent to the gateway, so that when the control data is further forwarded to the server, more rich control actions can be carried out. And both are seamlessly switched. Through the design, signals can be sent respectively when the intelligent controller is pressed and released, double-click, long-press and other actions can be recognized, and the information is sent to the intelligent controller (such as a wall switch) and a gateway, so that rich control actions can be carried out, and rich control effects are achieved.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, different combinations based on the number of pressing times, the number of releasing times, and the pressing duration may respectively correspond to the types of manipulation actions, such as a single click operation, a double click operation, a long press operation, an OTA operation, and the like.

(2) The communication processing module generates and sends out a control message according to the trigger signal, and the control message comprises:

Judging whether the wireless switch joins a designated network; if the wireless switch is not added into the appointed network, a second control message is sent outwards; otherwise, sending a second control message and/or a third control message outwards; wherein, the second control message and the receiving object pointed by the third control message are different.

Specifically, if the wireless switch is not networked, the wireless switch can only communicate with the intelligent controller paired with the wireless switch through the vendor custom message, and then the second control message, namely the vendor custom message, is sent outwards when the trigger signal is received, and the receiving object is the intelligent controller paired with the wireless switch. When the wireless switch is connected with the network, the wireless switch can communicate with the matched intelligent controller through the vendor custom message, and can communicate with the connected gateway through the network message, namely the third control message, so that the matched intelligent controller and the networked controlled equipment are controlled. Therefore, when the wireless switch is connected with the network, the second control message can be sent outwards, and the third control message can be sent outwards.

It should be noted that, in some special scenarios of the present application, even if an intelligent controller such as a wall switch or a sound box can be used as a gateway, at this time, the receiving object of the vendor custom message is the device itself, that is, the intelligent controller for controlling pairing with the wireless switch performs corresponding control. The receiving object of the networking message is a device serving as a gateway to communicate with the gateway through a network, i.e. the receiving object of the networking message is essentially the gateway, so that the receiving object of the networking message can be regarded as different from the receiving object of the networking message.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first control action type may be the same as or different from the second control action type and the third control action type. Specifically, when the manipulation action type further includes the first manipulation action type, the communication processing module is further configured to: before or simultaneously with the second control message and the third control message, the first control message is sent; the first control message is used for indicating a wake-up event of the communication processing module, and the first control message is generated by the key in response to the first control action type. The first control message may be a networking message, when the key is awakened by a first action of manipulating and awakening, such as a clicking operation, the first control message may be generated and sent to the outside, in some embodiments, the first control message may further enable the terminal to learn an awakening event of the wireless switch according to the first control message, so as to prompt the user or record the awakening event, and in other embodiments, the first control message only carries event information of the clicking operation and may be regarded as the same type as the third control message.

In a specific implementation scenario of the present application, when it is determined that the wake-up reason of the communication processing module is key wake-up, in a key press sub-process, when it is determined that a key is pressed, different key actions are identified according to a duration of the key press, for example, if the key press duration is not more than 2s and is released, a key release sub-process is entered, and identified as a single click operation, further, in the key release sub-process, the number of single clicks can be continuously determined, and if a second press is detected in a preset short time, identified as a double click operation; if the key is pressed again after double-clicking, the key pressing sub-flow is shifted to, and if the key pressing time in the key pressing sub-flow exceeds 5s but is less than 7s, the double-clicking and long-pressing operation can be identified, and the corresponding event can be a reset network distribution event; if the key pressing time exceeds 7s in the key pressing sub-flow after the key is pressed, identifying that OTA operation is performed, and activating OTA to facilitate upgrading; the upgrade is to upgrade the equipment through intelligent equipment such as a mobile phone, the equipment is activated before the upgrade (after 7S is pressed for a long time, the equipment sends an activation broadcast for 1 minute), the intelligent equipment such as the mobile phone detects the activation broadcast, then the intelligent equipment is connected with the equipment, and the upgrade is carried out after the connection.

For example, when the number of clicks in the key release sub-flow is 1, the timing of 300ms is turned on, and when the second press is not detected at the end of the timing of 300ms, it is determined as a click event, and the click event is transmitted. Otherwise, a millet double click event is sent and the number of single clicks is set to 0. Clicking a key is an event, which may be defined as a light-on event, for example.

Optionally, the communication processing module is further configured to: if the generated message is a first control message and/or a second control message, writing the first control message into a preset reporting event queue. The first control message may be a message corresponding to a key wake-up event, the second control message may be a vendor custom message, and the third control message may be a networking message.

Specifically, various events such as a control event for the pairing intelligent controller, a networking report event, a key wake-up event and the like are generated in each flow, and because the communication processing module is in a first sleep state (such as an SOC OFF mode), in order to increase the response speed, when the key wake-up event is judged to be yes, the event is directly input into the report event queue, and whether the event is transmitted later or not is judged in another way (for example, if the device is not configured with a network, although the event is input into the report event queue, the event is not transmitted), the control event for the pairing intelligent controller does not need to be networked, and therefore the control event can also be directly input into the report event queue.

Further, the communication processing module is further configured to: if the generated message is a third control message, writing the third control message into the report event queue after determining that the wireless switch joins the designated network; and sending out the corresponding message according to the report event queue.

In the embodiment of the application, different control messages correspond to different reporting events, and some reporting events can be sent after the distribution network, so that the networking reporting events are transmitted through a gateway, for example, single click events. Therefore, a wireless switch is required to make a bluetooth connection with the gateway. In the embodiment of the application, if the generated message is a third control message, the network reporting event corresponding to the third control message is indicated, whether the wireless switch is added to the designated network is determined first, and after the wireless switch is determined to be added to the designated network, the third control message is written into the reporting event queue, and the corresponding message is sent outwards.

If the reporting event is a non-networking reporting event, such as a control event to the pairing intelligent controller, the non-networking reporting event is transmitted through Bluetooth or other communication protocols, and the reporting event is written into an event queue. The second control message is taken as a manufacturer custom message, namely a message is transmitted between the pairing intelligent controller and the wireless switch through Bluetooth or other communication protocols, communication can be directly carried out without networking, and the reporting event corresponding to the second control message is a non-networking reporting event.

Specifically, taking the networking report event as the millet event as an example, in order to prevent congestion of the report event queue, if the millet event is judged to be yes, it needs to further judge whether the wireless switch is already connected, and if the wireless switch is already connected, the millet event is put into the report event queue (for example, if a certain key is pressed continuously for multiple times, the communication processing module is awakened by the first pressing, that is, the millet key is awakened, and the event is put into the report event queue, and if the subsequent multiple pressing is not connected with the network, the event is directly put into the report event queue, if the event is not already connected with the network, the congestion of the report event queue is not connected with the network, and if the event is not already connected with the network, then the event is not connected with the network, wherein, the event is awakened by the millet key in the process, and the event is awakened by the first pressing, the event is the event which is sent in the normal process, and if the event is not connected with the network, the whole event is not connected with the network, the network is not connected with the network, and if the event is not connected with the network, the whole event is not connected with the network, and the network is not connected with the network, and the event is not connected with the network.

In the embodiment of the application, after the event is input into the event queue, the package sending can be started only after the initialization of sdk (for example, the millet sdk) preset by the gateway is completed. If the gateway sdk sends the control message first without initializing, the control message may be interrupted by the stop called in the initialization process of the gateway sdk when the control message is sent to half, or the set_data is called to change the data of the control message, thereby causing abnormal control message sending. The two most important resources for initializing the gateway sdk are a serial number and a key (for encrypting data), and therefore, it is necessary to wait for the initialization of the gateway sdk to complete.

When the message is sent outwards in the wireless switch, a report sequence identifier is provided, and the report sequence identifier is used for identifying different messages in a report event queue. Optionally, when the communication processing module sends the corresponding message outwards according to the report event queue, the communication processing module is further configured to: acquiring a reporting sequence identifier, wherein the reporting sequence identifier is used for identifying different messages in the reporting event queue; and based on the report sequence identifier, sending the message in the report event queue outwards.

In an embodiment of the present application, the wireless switch may further include a target memory, where the target memory is a memory that does not lose data after power failure, for example, the target memory may be a Non-volatile memory (NVM), and the target memory may be a flash memory.

In the conventional mode of the wireless switch, taking the sequence identifier as a sequence number as an example, each 1 added to the sequence number exists in the RAM, and each packet sequence number is compared with the previous 1 added, so that the sequence number is not repeated. After entering the first sleep state (e.g., SOC OFF mode), the data stored in the RAM memory area of the wireless switch is lost, so that the communication processing module (e.g., SOC) is reinitialized after each wake-up. The gateway sdk adds 512 to the serial number after each initialization, and stores the serial number in the flash memory, and sends a message according to the serial number added with 512, but adds 512 when each wake-up, and exceeds the range of 1 byte mark, the low byte is unchanged, and the gateway or the cloud of the millet judges whether the packet is repeated or not through the serial number of 8 bits of the low byte, so that the packet loss risk exists. For example, the sequence number is stored in the flash memory every time the packet is sent, the gateway or the cloud side of the millet judges whether the packet is a valid packet according to the low byte (1 byte) of the sequence number, if the sequence number is added 512 each time when the packet is awakened from the first sleep state (such as the SOC OFF mode), the data of the low byte is not changed, for example, the original sequence number is 00000000, the original sequence number is added 512 (2 bytes) and then is changed to 00000010, the low byte 0 is unchanged, or the data of the 8 bits of 00000000, if the packet is judged to be a valid packet according to the low byte of the sequence number, the gateway or the cloud side judges that two packets before the addition 512 and after the addition 512 are the same packets, and then one packet is dropped, thereby causing the packet loss problem.

That is, in the normal mode, the sequence number of the message of the reporting event is added by 1 and stored in the RAM, the sequence number added by 512 is written to the flash memory once, instead of being written to the flash memory once every time, so as to reduce the number of times of reading and writing of the flash, and the gateway sdk also adds and stores the sequence number added by 512 to the flash after waking up from the first sleep state (such as SOC OFF mode) every time, which causes packet loss as described above.

Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, after the communication processing module enters the second working state in response to the wake-up instruction, the communication processing module is further configured to: acquiring a generated initial sequence identifier, wherein the initial sequence identifier is stored in the random access memory; before sending the message in the report event queue, updating the initial sequence identifier, and storing the updated initial sequence identifier as a report sequence identifier to the target memory.

For example, taking the first sleep state as the SOC OFF mode, the gateway is a millet gateway, and after the communication processing module of the wireless switch wakes up from the SOC OFF mode, the operation of masking the sequence number written by the millet sdk to the flash memory is only written once when data is sent, that is, after the communication processing module wakes up from the SOC OFF mode, the sequence number of the message of the reporting event is added 512 and stored in the RAM, but is not written into the flash memory.

Furthermore, the sequence numbers of the messages based on the reported event can be de-duplicated, for example, 30 packets of data exist in one event, the sequence numbers of the 30 packets of data are identical, the sequence numbers corresponding to different events are different, and then the sequence numbers are required to be introduced for de-duplication, so that the situation that the packets are lost in the same sequence number is avoided.

In some embodiments of the present application, the report sequence identifier includes a deduplication unit; the content of the de-duplication part of the reported sequence identifier is different from that of the de-duplication part of the initial sequence identifier. In the embodiment of the application, the deduplication part can be any byte in the serial number, preferably the lowest byte of the serial number, so that the deduplication can be performed by adding 1bit, the readable and writable times of the flash memory can be increased, and the service life of the flash memory can be prolonged.

For example, when a data packet of a message is sent, the data packet is stored in the flash after the sequence number is added with 1, so that the sequence number is equal to 513, 8 bits of a low byte can be changed, the repeated sequence number can not cause the packet loss by mistake, and the duplication can be removed only by adding only 1 bit, so that the readable and writable times of the flash memory can be increased.

Since the target memory is a memory which does not lose data after power failure, for example, an NVM memory, and the number of times of reading and writing is limited, further, in order to further improve the service life of the target memory, the operation of writing the serial number into the target memory by the gateway sdk can be intercepted (shielded), and the serial number can be saved into the flash memory every time a packet is sent. Specifically, the communication processing module is further configured to: and if a write request for writing the initial sequence identifier into the target memory is received, not responding to the write request.

For example, if a key is pressed 10 ten thousand times, it is necessary to ensure that the service life of the flash memory can be written 10 ten thousand times at least. Whereas 10 ten thousand presses are generally rarely achieved by users, and a typical flash can be written at least 10 ten thousand times, so this approach is feasible and can significantly improve the lifetime of the target memory.

In the embodiment of the application, the control messages corresponding to different home devices are time division multiplexed to avoid collision when the messages are sent even though the control messages are of the same type of communication protocol (for example, different manufacturer devices adopting Bluetooth protocols).

In some embodiments of the present application, when the communication processing module sends the corresponding message outwards according to the report event queue, the communication processing module is further configured to: the method comprises the steps that a first control message in the report event queue is sent outwards through a designated communication channel in a first period; sending the second control message outwards through the appointed communication channel in a second period; and/or sending the third control message outwards through the appointed communication channel in a third period; wherein the first period, the second period, and the third period are different.

For the equipment, taking a gateway and an intelligent controller as examples, sending a first control message to the gateway, and executing a preset broadcasting alternate flow after the sending is completed; and sending a second control message to the intelligent controller, and executing a preset broadcasting alternate flow after the sending is completed. The preset broadcasting alternate flow may be: stop-set data-start-Stop, i.e. Stop bluetooth broadcast-set broadcast data-start bluetooth broadcast-Stop bluetooth broadcast.

The first period, the second period and the third period may be adjacent periods or non-adjacent periods, where it is mainly guaranteed that the control messages are sent in different periods through the designated communication channels, so that time division multiplexing is achieved when the messages are sent, and other specific embodiments are not limited herein.

In the following, the first control message is taken as a networking message, the second control message is taken as a manufacturer custom message, and the manufacturer custom message is also a bluetooth packet, and the output data is bluetooth data no matter the manufacturer custom message or the networking message, but the specific protocols are different. Although vendor custom messages use their own protocols, the hardware base is bluetooth, so time division multiplexing is needed, i.e. vendor custom messages and networking messages are developed separately, and alternate steps are strictly controlled. The alternating execution steps are as follows: stop-set data-start-Stop: stopping bluetooth broadcasting-setting broadcasting data-starting bluetooth broadcasting-stopping bluetooth broadcasting; when the vendor custom message is issued, one Stop-set data-start-Stop is executed, and when the networking message is issued, one Stop-set data-start-Stop is executed. Therefore, different periods of protocol message transmission corresponding to different types of equipment are ensured, and time division multiplexing during message transmission is realized.

In addition, the second control message and/or the third control message bear a connection scanning control parameter, and the connection scanning control parameter is used for indicating that the wireless switch is not connectable and/or not scannable currently.

For example, taking the second control message as a vendor custom message, the vendor custom message carries an ADV parameter, that is, the connection scan control parameter, for indicating that the wireless switch is currently not connectable and/or not scannable. Specifically, the ADV parameter of the vendor custom message can be modified to be non_conn_non_scan (indicating that the connection is not available and the scanning is not available), because when the data packet is sent, one Tx is sent first, and then the Rx is sent (used for scanning), if the data packet is instead not available, only the Tx is needed, and the current for sending the Rx can be omitted, so that the power consumption of the wireless switch can be further reduced.

In the embodiment of the application, the wireless switch only generates an active task when being controlled, and the wireless switch enters the first sleep state (such as SOC OFF mode) in most of the time when not being controlled so as to reduce standby power consumption. Therefore, after the communication processing module sends the control message outwards, if the communication processing module does not have an active task in a first preset period and does not detect that the key is pressed in a second preset period, the communication processing module is switched from the second working state to the first working state (i.e. a sleep state, such as a response mode or an SOC OFF mode).

The communication processing module is used for judging whether a key is pressed in a second preset period if the communication processing module does not have an active task in the first preset period after the control message is sent outwards when entering the first working state in the appointed time after the control message is sent completely; and if the key is not detected to be pressed in the second preset period, switching the communication processing module from the second working state to the first working state.

For example, firstly, it is determined whether the wireless switch is currently active in a first preset period, if so, the active task is executed, if not, a timer with a preset duration (e.g. 15 s) is started, and whether the key is in a release state in a second preset period is detected, if so, it is indicated that there is no active task currently and the key is not pressed, and the first sleep state (SOC OFF mode) can be entered. If not, it indicates that the key is pressed and cannot enter the first sleep state (SOC OFF mode), because the key is immediately awakened if it is pressed for a long time to enter the SOC OFF mode (first sleep state), so that the communication processing module (e.g. SOC) frequently enters and exits the first sleep state (SOC OFF mode) and consumes much power, and therefore, after the key is pressed for a long time, the key enters the second sleep state (e.g. the notification mode) and periodically detects whether the key has been released.

In the embodiment of the application, the second preset period may be 15s, i.e. the 15s timer may be started to set the second preset period, and after 15s, whether the key is released is judged, because the key cannot enter the SOC OFF mode when the key is in the pressed state, and whether the key is released is circularly detected by starting the 15s timer until the key is detected, and then the 15s timer is ended. It should be noted that, the reason for selecting 15 seconds here is that the inventor selects the second preset period with 15s as an example in the above embodiment in consideration of the response speed and the power consumption cost of the wake-up of the recall mode and the socoff mode, and it is understood that other values may be selected for the second preset period, and the second preset period may be increased or decreased on the basis of 15s according to the actual application scenario, which is not limited herein.

The communication processing module judges that no active task can pass through detection of various conditions of the wireless switch in a first preset period.

Specifically, the communication processing module is further configured to: detecting whether the wireless switch is broadcast in a first preset period; detecting whether the wireless switch is in a connection state in a first preset period; and if the wireless switch is not broadcasted in the first preset period and/or is not in a connection state, determining that the communication processing module has no active task in the first preset period.

Further, when detecting whether the wireless switch is in a connected state in a first preset period, the communication processing module is specifically configured to: detecting whether the wireless switch is in a Bluetooth GATT protocol connection state in a first preset period; if the wireless switch is not in the Bluetooth GATT protocol connection state in the first preset period, determining that the wireless switch is not in the connection state in the first preset period.

Further, the communication processing module detects whether the wireless switch is broadcast in a first preset period, including: detecting whether the wireless switch has an unassigned network broadcast in a first preset period; detecting whether the wireless switch has OTA broadcasting in a first preset period; if the wireless switch has no unassigned network broadcast and OTA broadcast in the first preset period, determining that the wireless switch has no broadcast in the first preset period.

For example, the determining, by the communication processing module, that there is no active task in the first preset period may include the following determination:

1. Detecting whether the wireless switch has an unassigned network broadcast in a first preset period;

2. Detecting whether the wireless switch has OTA broadcasting in a first preset period;

3. whether the wireless switch is in a Bluetooth GATT protocol connection state in a first preset period;

4. If the wireless switch is not broadcast in the first preset period and is not in a connection state, determining that the communication processing module has no active task in the first preset period.

It should be noted that, the value of the first preset period and the value of the second preset period may be preset according to the actual application scenario, which is not limited herein.

Before judging whether the wireless switch has an active task in a first preset period, the wireless switch can firstly enter a sleep locking state, in the sleep locking state, the communication processing module cannot enter the first sleep state (SOC OFF mode), but can enter a second sleep state (regeneration mode), so that the wireless switch is prevented from directly entering the first sleep state (SOC OFF mode) when the wireless switch has the active task, and then exits after the wireless switch has the active task, and the power consumption is overlarge due to repeated adjustment of the working state.

Specifically, before detecting whether the wireless switch is broadcast in the first preset period, the communication processing module is further configured to: and locking the communication processing module to enable the communication processing module to enter a dormant locking state, wherein the communication processing module can be set to enter the second dormant state and cannot be set to enter the first dormant state in the dormant locking state.

For example, the wireless gateway has a sleep Lock state, i.e., a hiber state, and may perform Lock hiber before determining whether the wireless switch has an active task in the first preset period: after hiber is locked, the communication processing module cannot enter the first sleep state (SOC OFF mode) but can enter the second sleep state (attention mode).

In the embodiment of the application, the communication processing module of the timing wake-up wireless switch can be further set, the timing duration can be set through a timer, and the communication processing module of the timing wake-up wireless switch can be started, for example, the electric quantity detection timer is started for 50 minutes: one function is to send out the electric quantity data every 50 minutes, and the other function is to have a keep-alive operation with the gateway to tell the gateway that the wireless switch is still on-line.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, before entering the first sleep state (SOC OFF mode), the wireless switch needs to ensure that only one timer (i.e. the power detection timer) is active, otherwise, it cannot be determined which timer is awake when waking up next time. Of course, it is possible to identify which timer is awake (e.g. record the current state into flash memory, and transition from the current state to another state when waking up next time) by means of a timestamp, but the timestamp is not necessarily accurate.

Specifically, before the second working state is switched to the first working state, the communication processing module is further configured to: it is determined that the wireless switch is currently only one timing task to be turned on, the timing task being for periodically generating a timing signal to periodically wake up the communication processing module.

Optionally, after entering the second working state in response to the wake-up instruction, the communication processing module is further configured to: if the wake-up instruction is judged not to be a trigger signal and a timing signal, the communication processing module is switched from the second working state to the second dormant state; after keeping the communication processing module in the second dormant state for a preset time, acquiring stable electric quantity information of the power supply module; and sending out a state message comprising the stable electric quantity information.

Specifically, the wake-up instruction is not a trigger signal and a timing signal, that is, represents that the wake-up type of the communication processing module is not button wake-up or timing wake-up, if the wake-up type of the communication processing module is not button wake-up or timing wake-up, or is wake-up due to other reasons, such as OTA wake-up, software reset, etc., after timing 10s (within 10s, the program is in a recovery mode, that is, the program is suspended, and continues to be executed after completion, and is not reinitialized), stable electric quantity collection (such as ADC electric quantity collection) is performed, and the reason for timing 10s is to avoid larger power-up power consumption, pull down the battery voltage, and cause inaccurate collected battery voltage. After the voltage is collected, whether the wireless switch is matched with a network is judged, namely whether the wireless switch is added into a gateway or not is judged, if the wireless switch is not added, whether the wireless switch is subjected to factory test (aiming at measuring current), and if the voltage is not measured to be 0.3uA, the control board of the wireless switch possibly has the problems of electric leakage and the like. And when the wireless switch is judged to be not provided with the network, the factory test is not performed, and the network distribution flow of the wireless switch is directly entered to complete the network distribution of the wireless switch. After judging that the wireless switch is matched with the network, namely added into the gateway, entering a low-power consumption flow to enter a first sleep state (SOC OFF mode) mode, and reducing standby power consumption.

In the embodiment of the application, some reporting events (such as generated energy and millet events) can be sent only after the wireless switch is distributed with the network, so that the wireless switch is required to be connected with the gateway through Bluetooth. For example, if the wireless switch is already configured with the network, the power event is directly reported, and after the power event is acquired by other terminals, the user can check how much power remains.

Therefore, before the communication processing module sends the status message including the stable electric quantity information, the communication processing module is further configured to: confirming that the wireless switch is configured with a network; if the wireless switch is not matched with the network, broadcasting a network distribution message outwards; if a device adding request returned by the designated device based on the broadcast distribution network message is obtained, generating a confirmation message in response to target operation received by the key, wherein the confirmation message characterizes the wireless switch and/or the target operation; sending the confirmation message outwards; and receiving a connection network access request returned by the designated equipment based on the confirmation message, and joining a network corresponding to the designated equipment according to the connection network access request.

In a specific application scenario, if the wireless gateway is not configured with a network, the communication processing module configures the network for the wireless switch, including:

(1) If the wireless switch is not matched with the network, a broadcast network distribution message is sent.

If the network is not allocated, the wireless switch and the gateway are allocated. Specifically, the wireless switch firstly broadcasts the distribution network message outwards, the terminal can display the wireless switch after scanning the broadcast distribution network message, after receiving the operation of adding the wireless switch on the terminal by a user (such as clicking the wireless switch on a terminal APP interface), continuously judging whether a single click event occurs on the wireless switch, if so, broadcasting the message marked with the single click event outwards, prompting the user whether to confirm the addition after scanning the message on the terminal, if the user confirms the addition of the wireless switch on the terminal APP, entering a terminal APP connection network access sub-flow, initiating connection by the terminal APP, establishing connection with the wireless switch to enable the wireless switch to access the network, and interacting information such as key information. The reason for detecting the clicking event is as follows: if 10 wireless gateways are scanned into the addable list of the terminal APP at the same time and only one of the wireless gateways is wanted to be added, the key of the wireless gateway is pressed down so as to be convenient for sending a broadcast with a flag bit to the terminal, and the terminal adds the equipment, so that the mistaken addition is prevented.

Specifically, the wireless switch may send a broadcast network allocation message without a single click event flag bit in a period of 200ms first, and perform 2 minutes of broadcast timing, that is, the time that the device can add is only two minutes, for example, the terminal scans the broadcast network allocation message sent by the wireless switch and displays that the wireless switch can be added, if 2 minutes have passed, the wireless switch can be added, and if 2 minutes have not passed, the wireless switch cannot be added. If it is desired to add it later, the wireless switch is reset.

(2) If a device adding request based on the broadcast distribution network message returned by the gateway is obtained, judging whether a click operation exists on a key on the wireless switch.

If the equipment is added within 2 minutes, the APP performs scanning addition, namely the APP scans the millet beacon broadcast without the single click event zone bit sent by the equipment, and then the equipment is displayed on the APP to be added; the wireless switch continues to determine whether a click has occurred.

(3) If the click operation exists on the key on the wireless switch, a click broadcast message identifying the click operation is sent out.

If the click operation exists on the key on the wireless switch, a click broadcast message identifying the click operation is sent out. For example, a click broadcast message is sent with a 200ms period identifying a click operation. And after the APP scans the broadcast, 10s countdown is carried out, namely, the equipment is added to the time of the user for 10s to access the network, and the 10s countdown is finished.

(4) When a device adding request based on a click broadcast message returned by the gateway is obtained, network connection is established between the wireless switch and the gateway.

For example, after scanning the broadcast, the terminal APP sends a connection window for 10s counting down, and if it detects that the confirm key is pressed within 10s, the wireless gateway is added. When the wireless gateway obtains a device adding request based on a click broadcast message returned by the gateway, network connection is established between the wireless switch and the gateway. And when the wireless gateway does not acquire the equipment adding request based on the click broadcast message returned by the gateway, repeatedly sending the click broadcast message with the click operation identified. For example, if the confirmation key is not detected to be pressed within 10 seconds, the wireless switch continues to send a broadcast network allocation message with a period of 200ms, so that other devices can be added. The purpose of timing 10s is, among other things, that it is desired to add this device within 10 s. In order to allow the user operating time on the terminal, different manufacturers may be different. If the user clicks the add button within 10s, a network connection is established between the wireless switch and the gateway.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal APP initiates connection to the wireless switch to access the network, the wireless switch may first enter a connection locking state, where the communication processing module cannot enter the first working state. Specifically, the communication processing module is further configured to: if a connection network access request sent by a designated device is received, setting the communication processing module to a connection locking state, wherein the communication processing module cannot enter the first working state in the connection locking state;

At this time, after completing the wireless switch network allocation, the communication processing module is further configured to: and releasing the connection locking state of the communication processing module so that the communication processing module can enter the first working state.

In one embodiment of the present application, the terminal APP initiates connection to the wireless switch to access the network, and performs Lock sleep, where Lock sleep is a connection locking state, so as not to allow a chip (i.e. a communication processing module) of the wireless switch to enter sleep mode, because: in the process of Bluetooth network allocation, bluetooth GATT protocol connection is needed, and an internal 32K RC clock source has large drift and cannot establish connection (clock precision needs < =500 ppm). Therefore, when the network is connected, the 16M master clock is used for locking sleep, and after the connection is disconnected, the clock is unlocked (or an external 32K crystal oscillator is used). The clock is prevented from being asynchronous when the sleep mode is suddenly entered in the Bluetooth GATT protocol connection process, and further the Bluetooth GATT protocol connection is affected due to unexpected disconnection of the Bluetooth GATT protocol connection caused by inaccurate clock, so that the stability of the Bluetooth GATT protocol connection is improved. After key information interaction and network access are completed in the Lock sleep, the Lock sleep can be unlocked after the connection is disconnected. Wherein the bluetooth connection comprises two communications: connection state communication and broadcast state communication; the connection state communication is mainly used for network access, and the connection is disconnected after the network access is successful, namely the connection state communication is disconnected, and then an event (control message) is sent through the broadcast state communication. The message sent after successful network access is provided with security information (key) so as to judge whether the device is legal or not, namely, the Lock sleep is carried out in the connection state communication in the description.

The present application also provides a wireless switch comprising: the device comprises a power supply module, a communication processing module, a bottom shell, at least one key and at least one induction module;

In the wireless switch provided by the embodiment of the application, the communication processing module is set to the second dormant state in a normal state of the wireless switch, and is switched to the second working state from the second dormant state after receiving the wake-up instruction, so that the power consumption is the lowest, the standby power consumption and the running power consumption of the switch can be reduced, and the service life of a battery of the wireless switch is prolonged. Further, if the communication processing module has a specified state, the first working state is configured as a first dormant state, otherwise, the first working state is configured as a second dormant state; the specified state is: the ratio of the duration of the first working state to the message transmitting time in the second working state is greater than or equal to N, and the value of N is [4,6]. Because the duration of the first working state is far longer than the message transmitting time of the second working state in the appointed state, the standby power consumption of the wireless switch can be further reduced, and the service life of the wireless switch battery is prolonged.

Further, the key comprises a thick-wall area and a thin-wall area positioned in the thick-wall area, wherein an abutting arm is arranged in the thin-wall area, the thickness of the thick-wall area is larger than that of the thin-wall area, the position of the sensing module is matched with that of the abutting arm, and when the sensing module is triggered by extrusion of the thin-wall area, the key is detected to be pressed down.
